REFLECTIVE COLORLESS OPTICAL TRANSMITTER

摘要

A reflective colorless optical transmitter according to the embodiment of the present invention receives a carrier signal which is continuous light and outputs a modulated optical signal. The reflective colorless optical transmitter according to the present invention includes a semiconductor optical amplifier which performs an amplification operation to enable the inputted optical signal to have a gain, an optical modulator which is connected to the semiconductor optical amplifier and generates the modulated optical signal, a high reflective layer which reflects the modulated optical signal of the optical modulator, and a Bragg reflector which is serially connected to the high reflective layer, the optical modulator, and the semiconductor optical amplifier. A Bragg resonator is formed by the Bragg reflector and the high reflective layer.
